Indicator Overview

The Bitcoin 200-Period MA Heatmap is a visual analytics tool that overlays Bitcoin’s historical price chart with its 200-period moving average (configurable as daily or weekly), highlighting the stretch between price and the MA through a colour-coded heatmap. This reveals market cycles, overbought/oversold conditions, and potential reversal points based on historical deviations.

The colour gradient ranges from deep blue (extreme undervaluation, e.g. ratios below 0.5x the MA) to crimson red (extreme overvaluation, e.g., ratios above 2x the MA), with greens and yellows indicating neutral to moderate expansions.

How To Use

Ratios above the 200-period MA, shown in red and orange dots, often signal overbought conditions typically occurring near bull market highs. Ratios below the 200-period MA, indicated by green and blue dots, highlight undervaluation, often observed during bear market lows. Traders can use the heatmap to time entries and exits, taking profits or exercising caution during extreme overbought periods and considering accumulation when oversold. The 200-period MA line itself serves as a trend anchor: prices consistently above it confirm bullish momentum, while sustained periods below suggest bearish conditions. This visual framework allows for quick assessment of Bitcoin’s long-term cyclical positioning.
